At Auction Thursday, June 26 at 12 PM ET

The Fine Art departments are joining together to present our first 20th Century Fine Art auction, which offers for sale paintings, drawings and prints illustrating the breadth of art created during the twentieth century. From early important European works such as Kees van Dongen’s Tête de femme, an iconic depiction of one of his almond-eyed girls, to Wolf Kahn’s brilliantly colored Wooded Landscape, the sale presents a variety of art from movements that defined the century.

Important illustrators such as Norman Rockwell and other significant American artists like Martin Lewis are included. Other print highlights are a rare, signed proof of Vase by Maurits Cornelis Escher from the XXIV Emblemata series and Joan Miró’s large Le Pitre Rose.

The second half of the twentieth century is represented by works by Horace Clifford Westermann, Alexander Calder and Philip Guston. The sale also presents a strong selection of African American art, including works by Albert Alexander Smith and Benny Andrews’ oil and canvas collage Blue and White Still Life, along with pieces by Raymond Howell, Faith Ringgold and Jacob Lawrence.
